HTML codes and tips for email signatures

Linked image:
Code:
<a href="http://www.emailsignature.eu"><img src="http://www.emailsignature.eu/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/logo_phpBB.gif" border="0" alt="logo"></a>

Embedded (inline) image:
  • Add height and width to your image. These tags are used in Outlook 2007.
    Double-click on image in Cockpit:

    Code:
    <img src="OAO_logo.gif" height="150" width="40" border="0" alt="Office add-on logo">



This code is a link where the font is controlled:
Code:
<a href="http://www.brandedmails.com"><font size="2" face="Verdana, sans-serif" color="000000">Text to be displayed</font></a>


This code is a link where the link is not underlined:
Code:
<a href="http://www.brandedmails.com"><font size="2" face="Verdana, sans-serif" color="000000" style="text-decoration: none;">Text to be displayed</font></a>


This is font size and color:
Code:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, sans-serif" color="000000">This is verdana size 10 black</font>

Code:
<font size="1" face="Verdana, sans-serif"  color="000000">This is verdana size 8 black</font>


This is a single line break:
Code:

Hi Jesper,

When I try to put this code in the cockpit in code view, it gets removed whenever I switch to design view and back again.

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Company name</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<meta name="author" content="Jesper Frier">
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>


Are my signatures not supposed to contain this code? Is it assumed that Outlook will add this code by itself when it makes the email?

I just did a test and Outlook does add this code on it's outbound emails:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.6000.16481" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>

Signature content gets put in here
<eMS4.8.7.D5M.9Y.2007-->

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV></BODY></HTML>


I guess my question is, should I enclose my signature code in <DIV> tags?

Hi,

My mistake - Sorry Embarassed

The above code was used in eMailSignature version 2 where there was no editor in the Cockpit.

In eMailSignature version 4, the editor 'take control' and replaces the code. No worries - the editor outcome is correct HTML. What you see in Outlook depense on your Outlook version and if you use Word as editor.

I have now remove the as it makes no sence anymore - only confusion ... Laughing
